At first I was like, "Yay! Renko x Maribel!", but this is pretty dark. I think I loved this story a lot, but I can't quite pinpoint the reason why.

Ultraviolet rays are violet just like Yukari is violet.

Sometimes I look at the Girl x Girl tag and think, "why is this not yuri? Isn't this the definition of yuri?" These are the questions that keep me up at night.

When I read introspective works, sometimes I think, "This doesn't have to be depressing." But the characters are still so self-depreciating. If philosophy is sorrow, people should really just stop thinking about things. Renko and Mari are staring at pieces of truth all the time with their special eyes. Being closer to truth than any other person can be scary, but it can be uplifting too. Girl x Girl tags without an accompanied yuri tag confuses me.

It's pretty much used for works focusing on a pair of characters, but not really yuri, or even subtext. Friendships, drama between them, non-romantic love and all that. Tagging it yuri would be misleading, but it's still something that would appeal to fans of that pairing. And it's a accurate description of the manga itself too.

is this missing a prequel?
